Check out my work on hepatic glycogen metabolism 🍭

[Saltiel lab @LabSaltiel]

JCI - Hepatic glycogen directly regulates gluconeogenesis through an AMPK/CRTC2 axis in mice https://t.co/FDym2oBjQ8

Another example of how glycogen does more than just serve as a site for energy storage.

Happy to share that I have been awarded the postdoctoral fellowship from @AHA_Research with a 0.27% percentile rank! Huge improvement from triaged last year🥹 Many thanks to my mentor @LabSaltiel, and amazing references from dear @xiaoyong_yang @YasukoIwakiri and Dr. Ron Evans

Could there be a way to re-calibrate a person’s default body weight? New Yale research suggests the key to such metabolic regulation may be a brain enzyme called OGT. @YaleMed

Our new study is out @SAdvances on how brain instructs adipose tissue to burn fat and curb obesity. This is a tour de force by two of my brilliant graduate students Qi Wang @Qi_Metabolism and @bichen_zhang. https://t.co/qcrQpkvLwH

Seeking more educators! Animation lab postdoc @Na_y_ak has been working on visualizations of metabolic flux. If you're teaching these concepts, we'd love your your help developing these animations and educational modules (which will be freely shared online).
